Hey y’all,
Let’s talk about something we all crave: comfort in consistency.
Whether it’s knowing your favorite blanket is within arm’s reach, your beloved tv show or movie on replay, or being satisfied by your most requested food… consistency is gold. But for many of us in the chronic illness, injury, pain, disability, or neurodivergent communities – consistency is rare.
So we’re building a little bit of that steady comfort into the heart of The Chronic Illness Hotline by Project Build, and we’re inviting you to be part of it.
💛 Introducing the “Comfort in Consistency” Monthly Donor Circle 💛
This is our grassroots lifeline – a way for supporters like you to help us create reliable, trauma-informed, lived-experience-led support… every single month.
Why Monthly Giving?
Because we’re not trying to build something flashy and one-time. We’re building something sustainable. A soft place to land that’s always there – for you, for your friends, for people you may never meet who are quietly holding on.
Your monthly donation helps us:
✔️ Relaunch our 24/7 support line with trained responders who get it
✔️ Provide flexible, paid work for people with lived experience
✔️ Create a trusted resource database for people slipping through the cracks
✔️ Offer actual, human-centered emotional care – not bots or waitlists
